Abstract

Se and Fe are trace minerals acting as antioxidant scavenging free radicals. Iron deficiency is the most frequently reported nutritional deficiency in females. Body iron status are known to be dependent not only upon dietary iron intake, but also upon micro-mineral nutrition and obesity. Antioxidants such as selenium are reported to play an important role on the regulation of erythropoiesis by protecting RBC membrane from antioxidative damage. In this study, iron status in young females and its relationships with selenium status and physique were examined. Serum selenium and iron concentrations were measured by HANARO research reactor using neutron activation analysis method (NAA-method). The proportion with iron deficiency and anemia were 27.1% and 8.6%, respectively in young females, but the proportion with iron deficient anemia was 1.4%. The mean serum selenium level was $12.0\;{\mu}g/dL$ and in normal range in the young women. The study participants were tertiled according to BMI and serum selenium levels. Serum ferritin and iron levels inclined with increasing BMI tertiles. Serum iron and RBC count were higher in middle selenium group than low selenium group. Individuals had significantly lower hematocrit level in the lowest tertile for their serum selenium levels compared with the highest tertile. The serum ferritin level was predicted 25% by BMI and RBC count 26.2% by the serum selenium level and body fat%. In conclusion, this study shows that body iron status in young adult females are influenced by obesity and body selenium status.

본 연구는 젊은 여성인 여대생의 철 영양상태를 살펴보고, 체격과 체내 셀레늄 수준과의 관계를 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 대상자들의 평균 나이는 21.9세이며, 키, 체중 및 체질량지수는 각각 164 cm와 60.1 kg, $22.2\;kg/m^2$를 나타내었고, 체질량지수는 $17.9\;kg/m^2$에서 $35.9\;kg/m^2$까지의 다양한 수준의 체격 분포를 보였다. 본 연구 여대생들의 철결핍과 빈혈율은 각각 27.1%, 8.6%이지만, 철 결핍성 빈혈율은 1.4%에 불과하였다. 체질량지수에 따른 철 영양상태를 보면, 체질량지수가 가장 낮은 집단에서 혈청 페리틴 수준과 혈청 철 수준이 낮았지만, 체중 증가에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다. 헤모글로빈 수준이나 적혈구 용적비는 체격에 따른 차이를 전혀 보이지 않았으며, 적혈구수는 저체중군에서 중체중군으로 체질량지수가 증가하였으나 고체중군에서 유의적으로 낮았다. 본 연구 대상자들의 평균 혈청 셀레늄 수준은 $12.0\;{\mu}g/dL$를 나타내었다. 혈청 셀레늄 수준에 따른 철 지표를 보면 혈청 페리틴 수준은 혈청 셀레늄 농도 증가에 따른 차이를 보이지 않지만, 혈청 철 수준과 혈액의 적혈구수, 적혈구 용적비는 평균 셀레늄 수준이 $9.6\;{\mu}g/dL$에서 혈청 셀레늄 $11.4\;{\mu}g/dL$으로 증가하는 경우 유의적으로 증가하여 낮은 셀레늄군에 비해 중셀레늄군 및 고셀레늄군에서 증가하였다. 혈청 페리틴 수준은 체질량지수에 의해 약 25.0%를 설명할 수 있으며, 적혈구수는 혈청 셀레늄 수준과 체지방율에 의해 변이의 26.2%를 설명할 수 있었다. 그러나 헤모글로빈이나 적혈구 용적비 등 다른 철 지표들은 쳬질량지수나 혈청 셀레늄 수준에 의해 설명이 되지 않았다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 체내 철 수준은 혈청 셀레늄수준, 체격인자 중 체질량지수 및 체지방율과 관련성을 제시하였다.
